Old chestnut probably but…
I’ve got a client who has bought 4 domains and at the moment they point to his website. Because as such there is no home pages for any of these 4 sites, so hence no keywords to pick up. So presumably if I set up an index.html page for each one, how do you get them to re-direct automatically to his website? At the moment it’s set up to re-direct through the registrar. Is this a Freeway implemented thing?
No! This will kill whatever google mojo you may have acquired so far.
You want to make a 301 redirect at the server level.
If you edit (or create) an .htaccess file on the server you want to
redirect from, and put the following one line inside it:
Redirect 301 / http://your.new.server.com/
This .htaccess file needs to be saved at the top of the Web root in
the server you want to redirect from, and it will send all traffic to
the other server, issuing a 301 Moved Permanently header in the process.
Note that this works on Apache servers, might work on others that try
to mimic Apache.
